[sldev] git repository for slviewer

I've setup a git repository from the svn and am looking for feedback
before I settle on a final layout. I've moved quite a few branches
around and renamed things to be more consistent and clearer (to me).

You can grab a clone with:

git clone git://dominodesigns.info/slviewer.git

I wouldn't use it as a base for any development yet as depending on
feedback I might end up regenerating it which would break references for
pulling updates. It's static at the moment, though it is setup so I can
update from svn and the final version will do that at set intervals.

New svn branches will still need to be added manually. The git svn
doesn't handle branches in sub directories very well. That's one of the
reasons I took the opportunity to tidy things up a bit and did the
entire layout by hand :)

Main things that'll leap out as changed:

All linden branches are under origin/svn/
*/2007/* branches are generally shoved into the sandbox
windlight12 is in as origin/svn/firstlook/windlight
I treated vwr2972 as the minor revision so it's at end of branch names
rather than beginning.

Just noticed "origin/svn/branch/non-voice-1-17-0" should be
"origin/svn/branch/1-17-0-non-voice" - I'll fix that, but feel free to
point out other errors and dumb mistakes :)

I wasn't sure where to put the other windlight branch so it ended up in
sandbox..

The changes make things clearer to me, but I'm unsure whether with wider
adoption it would just confuse matters when talking about svn branches.

Let me know what you think!
